Do you find yourself saying "Why do I keeping doing this?", "What I am doing isn't working?" or "why won't he just stop?". Sometime people have a behavior or relationship that they don't know how to stop, don't want to stop or can't stop. The first step is to help you to know which describes you and then help you develop and implement a plan for any changes YOU desire. Our work together is to help you become the best you that YOU want to be.

I think of addiction generally as a habit out of control. You can learn to change your habits and thus control your behavior. Of course some addictions are so out of control they require detox and residential treatment. That is not the kind of addictions I deal with. You can be addicted to anything: pornography, alcohol, drugs, sex, or even chocolate.

Addiction involves compulsive behavior that can gradually lead you to feel out of control with your life. Addiction comes in many forms and can include addiction to substances, people (love addiction), food, or work. Our approach is to help you manage unhelpful compulsive behaviors while also working on underlying causes. Often, this involves identifying and dealing with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or feelings of emptiness and inadequacy. The process of recovery helps you take control of your life, regain an identity of worth and value, develop healthy coping strategies, and manage difficult emotions.

While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step programs, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brain in mind. That is, talking to the conscious brain while the primal brain is deciding things even before you are consciously aware? Well, that is the problem to solve in addiction. We have the solution utilizing a new cutting edge neuroscience-centered brain rebalancing system. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or call 877-606-6161.

Addiction is a mental health condition and I treat addiction by a multi-pronged process predominately from a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) model. I help my clients understand the reasons they use a substance or engage in an addictive behavior, teach them skills regulate their emotions and tolerance distress that might otherwise lead them to engage in their addiction, and address any underlying issues that contribute to their addiction. I also help clients with with concerns about their substance use or compulsive behavior to avoid developing addictions.

Drug dependency and on going negative habits can be profoundly challenging to overcome, affecting every aspect of an individual's life. Addressing these issues often requires a multifaceted approach, combining personal resolve with professional support. A lot of people only think that a psychiatrist in can prescribe medication but the guidance of a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) can play critical roles in facilitating recovery and helping individuals break free from these destructive patterns.

Addictions steal people’s lives and break apart families. An addiction can be described as any compulsive and habitual behavior that limits your freedom. This includes alcoholism, substance abuse and dependency, drug abuse, compulsive gambling, pornography and sexual addiction, and others. Addictions have several warning signs, such as increased secrecy, withdrawing from family/friends, fatigue, failure to meet responsibilities, declining health, defensiveness, mood shifts, and demanding more privacy. The addictive cycle is hard to stop, but it can but it can be broken. As professional counselors we can help you break the chains of addiction!

People tend to think of addiction as a problem with alcohol or drugs, however we can be addicted to work, sex, food, gambling, pornography or even internet use. If you have experienced personal, family, or legal consequences as a result of addiction issues, we can help individuals and families learn better ways of coping with life on life’s terms. We work with with codependency, chronic relapse, and co-occurring mental health disorders that are frequently part of the addiction cycle. If you believe that there are others who have been where you are right now and are not there any longer, you may be ready to make meaningful changes. The work can be hard but you do not have to do it alone!

If you’re struggling with unhealthy habits or addictive behaviors, in some way it’s working for you. After all, they provide relief from stress and pain. But, if you’re reading this you also know that they aren’t a long-term solution. It’s common for successful men like yourself to use over-working, pornography, alcohol, technology, and emotional eating to cope with the stressful demands of life. As a Certified EMDR therapist, I won’t give you band-aid approaches to manage your stress or make you quit these behaviors. But if you’re actually ready for a change, I can help. Like an emotional surgeon, I'll help you identify the sources of your stress and pain, and heal them at the source.

My approach to helping individuals or families with addiction encompasses trying to understand the benefit of the addiction in this person's life. How has the addiction provided some need that is not being fulfilled elsewhere within the family? We would explore the role of the addiction, transition into sobriety, and then work on recovery from the addiction and what that new normal resembles.

Often times people engage in addictive behaviors as a way to avoid some type of emotion or trauma. Insight into these emotions will be explored. Healthy ways of coping will be discussed along with relaxation training. I will also teach about the relationship between thoughts, feelings and actions. Triggers of the addiction and ways to avoid this triggers will ablso be explored.

Through personalized treatment plans, clients will benefit from a holistic approach that addresses physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction. My goal is to empower clients to identify triggers, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Together, we will create a safe and supportive environment where clients can work towards sobriety, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose, ultimately leading to a life free from the constraints of addiction.

Helping clients to identify what they are seeking from and or getting out of their addiction is one of the main goals in my practice. Once clients are able to identify this they can better understand the motivation behind continuing to use. The next step is to help clients to create a "new life" or version of themselves that allows for more balance and enjoyment.
